The Scarf
Who’s the wheelchair-girl that’s constantly reminding all the other wheelchair-girls out there the neverending importance of accessories in our wardrobe? That’s right. That would be me 🙂 And today, in early January, it’s a perfect time to remind all of you the current trendiness and ease that is the Pashmina scarf (yes it’s back). But BEWARE, it’s only IN right if it’s tied in a very specific way (see image to the left. Image courtesy of Esprit). Now, I’m no knot-expert by any means, but I’m seeing fashionistas everywhere donning these things. And it dawned on me the other day what an easy add-on this would be, and look great while you’re at…

Show Off The Shoulders
One of the best ways to look hella sexy from that wheelchair of yours is to bare your shoulders. Yup, that’s right…I’m talking about those slinky and sometimes sexy, off-the-shoulder tops. They’re great for holiday occasions, nighttime events, and of course, summertime. We sometimes need a fresh viewpoint when deciding what areas of our bodies to accentuate from our chairs. It’s not easy. Lucky for you, I’m here to be that person for you. While we sit, our chest, shoulders, and face are the first thing that catch people’s eyes. Knowing that, bare shoulders (and wearing your hair in a casual up-do along with the top) is a freakin’ great way to show…

1928 Jewelry Lurve
There’s nothing that makes me giddier than gorgeously unique jewelry, that’s also cheap. And 1928 Jewelry fits the bill. Just check out their Manor House Beaded Drop Earrings (pic to the left) for $26.00. With their Victorian-look, paired with ”simulated” amethyst and pearl (which help create the dropped-effect), make these babies look like they’re genuine antique jewelry that’s worth 4x the amount. Have fun browsing! Their jewelry is simply gush-worthy. – Tiff

Wear a Hat Jack
Hats: A covering of the head. A way to retain body heat. And of course, a lovely head decoration, a.k.a., the most fabulous accessory (next to printed stockings) that fashion has ever seen! w00t! I’m lucky. I have a hat face (or at least people have been telling me so for years). They could be lying, boosting my ego, but who cares, I’ve developed a fetish for hats and it’s sayin’, friends 🙂 Let us also not forget how majorly kick-ass hats are in the “Easiest Way to Look Stylish from a Wheelchair” department. With that being said, my hat fetish was fully appeased this Fall when the “Cloche” style hat from the…

Wheelchair Fashion? Oh Yes, There Is Such a Thing
With the onset of Fall, comes for most women in my age range, the time (or the excuse rather) to venture out to our local favorite malls, in search of several new outfits for the change of the season. With Fall invariably comes cooler weather (unless you’re lucky enough to live in a part of the world where it never gets cold. Then boo on you), and each season, the most powerful designers of the world – Versace, Gucci, Guess, Issac Mizrahi even – create new lines of clothing that less-expensive retailers, Macy’s for example, replicate for half the price, then sell to us. But for the cheapest of the…

More “Tattoo” Lurve
OMG…aren’t these just about the coolest thigh-highs ever created?! StockinGirl sells these “Tattoo Parlour Thigh Highs” for $22.99, but since they’re so incredibly unique, they’re on back-order. Something tells me these stockings are worth the wait though…. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it once again: The absolute best way to dress-up otherwise atrophied paralyzed, skinny legs, is to go the printed tights/thigh-highs route. You can thank me later 🙂 -Tiff

Stockings May Be Your Best Accessory
I’m currently infatuated with these Hibiscus Print Sheer Thigh Highs. I’ve bought several pairs of StockinGirl’s wickedly awesome printed thigh-highs before, and have always received the best compliments ever, ranging from, “Where did you buy those?!” to (the funniest), “Are those tattoos?” ‘Cause when you wear a skirt with these printed thigh-highs, some dolts actually think they’re tattoos. Pretty amusing stuff, not to mention a great (and easy) way to accessorize from a chair. Price: $22.99 – Tiff

Why underbust corsets and matching bras rock my world
While perusing the ‘net this weekend, I came across a revelation of sorts in the realm of corsetry for wheelchair-users (and no, when I say corset I do not mean an abdoninal binder. ew). Thanks to Bridget from The Girls Next Door, a E! reality-show based on Hugh Hefer and his three blonde bombshell girlfriends, who live in his mansion in LA, Bridget (Hef’s 2nd gf. She’s 2nd to Holly and I believe Kendra is 3rd; not quite sure how this all works out though. ha) gave him a striptease (for his huge) 80th birthday party. image to the left) wearing a MATCHING UNDERBUST CORSET AND RUFFLY BRA! Hello, baby!! Talk about “lightbulb in Tiff’s head” city!…

Agent Provacateur
Say adios to the same old boring lingerie you’ve been finding at Victoria’s Secret at Target all these years, and say bon jour to sexy lingerie designers, Agent Provacateur. With celebrity spokesperson Maggie Gyllhenhaal, how can this company go wrong? Be prepared for overly-French, high-priced, yet highly unique lingerie, with certain items having a S&M flair. Remember, just because you’re sitting doesn’t make you any less desirable. Avoid the corsets, however. For most corsets (unless they’re custom-made for your seated torso) will be too long and flip-up, if you will, at the waistline where the corset hits your lap. Happy sexy time! http://www.agentprovocateur.com/
